Your kid as obsessed as mine with MINECRAFT? Might want to head out to the Museum of the Moving Image and check out “Indie Essentials: 25 Must-Play Video Games.” The interactive exhibition (read playable) of more than two dozen games that represent the “indie” scene. Museum Of The Moving Image, 36-01 35 Avenue (at 37 Street), Astoria, Queens. Opens Saturday, December 14.

Here’s a list of the games featured in the exhibit (to gauge age-appropriateness).

Don’t be dissuaded by the report of the long lines or the cold. We are wild about polka dots here and Yayoi Kusama’s art has been on the Must Do list for a while now. (We understand, the holiday’s sometimes take over but it’s ending the 21st so you’ve got to hurry!) If you haven’t seen it, I Who Arrive in Heaven is surreal, intriguing and fantastical. There are two infinity rooms that boast mirrors and dots, dark and light. Read about it here.

We are mad about the newest backpacks to hit Babesta by Sprayground. What makes them so awesome? The wings! When my little 7 year old saw these in the picture she made me earmark one for her this Christmas. They’re sized for an adult (so it’s decidedly ginormous on her because she’s quite petite), and have a built in laptop sleeves and pockets and of course the amazing wings. It’s perfect for an older child or adult who wants a backpack with distinction!

Sprayground, founded by David Ben-David, is definitely the hippest new bag company on the scene, with the bags coveted by celebrities and edgy about-towners. We’re totally psyched to have them in shop this season!

Our stylin’ Babesta elves have been compiling a list of great gifts for the holiday season! Check out the fresh selection ranging from stocking stuffers to the “wow” gifts! Anything you think we’ve missed!? Shop Babesta’s Pinterlist Here!

We get it. Your kids’ a Picasso. And a prolific on to boot. What to do? It’s hard to find the space for all that work, but you can’t bear to part with it forever. Love this app that I just read about on Cool Mom Picks called ArtKive. You can save all the artwork digitally and bound it in a sweet book, so it’s easy to go back to yet fits neatly on the shelf. I for one am going to grab my unruly boxes of artwork-past and give this a whirl. Read more on Cool Mom Picks. (pic from Cool Mom Picks)
